Not surprising since they were raised on fairy tales that deemed the search for knowledge to be the first "sin".
Its called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it
美国梦是个人发财的梦
讲究冒险
通过个人奋斗达到所谓的成功
成为有产者
然后去剥削别人
中国梦是共同富裕
追求的是人民幸福
换句话说
美国梦是个人梦
是为美元的梦
中国梦是人民梦
是为人民服务的梦
这就是二者的本质区别
以后不要在我面前提起美国梦
俗气https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pP7p2ocNWZo

Thank you for this comrade, it enriches us all.
thanks I kinda needed to hear that right now, I've been slapfighting with bsky liberals
Being "woke" is to be aware of prevailing social issues. According to Wikipedia it was BLM that made it popular around the time of the Ferguson protests.
When conservatives try to use woke as a pejorative, they're really trying their best to make it uncool to be woke. And thus keep the general public from investigating these social issues.
It's all PR and marketing of the issue to them as well as to the libs.
It's also a thought stopping phrase as the liberals and right wing have so many.
It's all PR and marketing of the issue to them as well as to the libs.
All basically part of the divide and conquer culture wars that convince working people that we are each other's enemies, rather than the oligarchs that keep us fighting each other. And it has been working like a charm for thousands of years.
Fun game: Ask them to define "woke" without sounding like they are on an elementary school playground.
At best they'll define it as "belief in systemic injustice where none exists." That's what they believe, that everything perfectly fine and as God intended, except the problems white people face. If they were honest they'd define it as "too much focus on people who aren't white christian suburbanites."
Woke just means "aware the US is a white supremacist society" so complaining about wokeness is basically self-identifying as a fascist.
Great, succinct definition. I am going to use this next time I talk to any of my fascist siblings.
Half the joke is how "Wake Up Sheeple" used to be a line liberals casually tossed at conspiracy minded conservatives and libertarians. XKCD made this joke back in 2009 with a zinger about "six Ayn Rand fans on the same subway car" in the mouse-over text.
As the derogatory nature of the term moved from the liberal sphere to the conservative one, it changed from casual mockery to a conspiracy theory in its own right. Being "Woke" wasn't about being a gullible Alex Jones dork, convinced of a thousand invisible monsters only they could see. It became a monster of its own, a vast government conspiracy to brainwash young people into doubting Alex Jones and his ilk.
The term has always been a kind-of double-speak when used in opposition. It is intended to imply a delusion imposed on you by some outside source. Being "Woke" actually means being ignorant by way of self-conviction. If we weren't forced to use baby words in public discourse, a better term might be "Hubristic". And the border implication of the accusation actually is that the group of people who have rallied around "Wokeness" or who are pounding the table shouting "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" at a disaffected audience, are gaining strength by way of this shared false conviction.
I do sometimes use “woke” as a slur for liberal wokeness: pinkwashing, liberal feminism, etc.
I think this is perfectly acceptable because it brings out the point that all these things are essentially just profit driven anyway and that maybe making the world a better place for everyone shouldn't be monetized.
Or at least that's my take.
This is all well and good. It's perfect for describing some phenomena like "woke homophobia" where some libs try to go full fujoshi on men who are insecure with their masculinity, but it comes off as them fetishizing queer men at best, or confirming that they see queerness as embarrassing.
: "Woke? So, you mean like I've taken the redpill? I couldn't agree more!"Granted, I suppose we should have our own dogwhistle that means the same thing. I thought of "putting on the sunglasses" as our equivalent of "taking the redpill" and "wearing sunglasses" as "redpilled". Doesn't roll off the tongue as well, but that's not the point anyways. Our ideology isn't supposed to get by on fashionability like the CHUDs can.
redpilled is literally from the Matrix which was made by trans women afaik, so we can just use it and the chuds can suck our balls
You just gave me a good suggestion for a site tagline: Putting the red back in redpilled since 2020
literally all their stuff comes from black people or LGBT or leftists
"based"
